How to override the `project.build.finalName` Maven property from the command line?

command-line, maven, maven-3

Solution

See Introduction to the POM

finalName is created as:

<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>

One of the solutions is to add own property:

<properties>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</properties>
<build>
    <finalName>${finalName}</finalName>
 </build>

And now try:

`mvn -DfinalName=build clean package`

Problem

I have the following plain pom running by Maven 3.0.4. ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>test</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> </project> ``` I am trying to override default settings in command line like this: ``` mvn -Dproject.build.finalName=build clean package ``` But this this is ignored, and I get `test-1.0.jar`. I've tried to change another properties, like outputDirectory, directory, artifactId, but also failed. What is the proper way to do this thing?
